Tell me yer tale, an' I'll listen:
Rossarinya grew up never knowing her parents. When she was only a baby, her parents abandoned her on the front steps of a small stone cottage on the outskirts of the Whispering Woods. This cottage was the home of a witch named Auria the green. Before the arrival of Rossarinya, Auria took joy in her solitary lifestyle. She enjoyed the peace and quiet that solitude brought, so you can imagine her displeasure when a crying baby was left on her steps. In fact, after she was awoken by the weeping of the child that was so inconsiderately abandoned in the middle of the night, she went to the door to see what was making so much noise and when she saw the baby wrapped in a small brown blanket that was embroidered with an elvish name; she immediately closed the door with the plan of ignoring it and going back to bed. Luckily for Rossarinya, even Auria couldn't bring herself to be so cruel. Auria reluctantly took Rossarinya in and ended up raising her as her apprentice. As soon as Rossarinya was old enough, Auria put her to work. She would send her on errands to collect ingredients she needed for her potions. Because of this Rossarinya learned how to recognize many different plants and there uses. She also learned a good amount of alchemy from watching and helping Auria make the potions.
Rossarinya started showing talent with magic at a very young age. Being secluded as she was, she spent most of her time in the forest. There she watched the animals and learn how to read their behavior. She soon became very close with the animals of the forest and found that she was able to read their thoughts. After learning of this, Auria helped her further develop her magical ability. Soon she was able to communicate with any animal telepathically. As her powers grew she realized that she also had the ability of controlling the animals' will. This power frightened her at first as she didn't like being able to control her friends, but with Auria's help she learned to control her power and understood that having this power didn't mean she could no longer be friends with animals. She just had to use it wisely.
Beside magic, Auria also taught Rossarinya many other useful skills. She taught her how to sew and make her own clothes, mostly just to get out of doing it herself, but it is still a useful skill nonetheless. She taught her manners that she herself didn't even follow simply to make Rossarinya more bearable to live with. She taught Rossarinya how to treat wounds and make natural medicine. This skill Rossarinya put to use whenever an animal she knew got injured. Auria also taught her how to fight and defend herself, giving her a dagger for protection. Being a wizard, Auria made a point to know many languages, as spells came in many tongues, and these she taught to Rossarinya. Perhaps the most memorable thing Auria taught Rossarinya, however, was the many stories she told her. Whenever Rossarinya would act up or was upset Auria would sit her down and tell her a story. They were fantastical stories that Rossarinya never believed could be real, but Auria always swore they were. These stories would capture Rossarinya's imagination and sparked her love for reading.
Auria wasn't Rossarinya's only teacher, the animals she befriended also taught her important skills that she would use throughout her life. They taught her how to survive in the wild. She learned were to find edible plants, good water, and how to spot danger. She would often spends days in the forest learning from the animals, and it was when she was on one of these excursions that her life changed forever. After she had been gone for two days, she was returning to the cottage when she suddenly felt something was wrong. She sprinted to her home, but it was too late. Auria was dead. Her body laid lifeless of the kitchen floor. She had been cooking Honey-cake, one of Rossarinya's favorite foods. In that moment Rossarinya's whole world was shattered. She couldn't believe it. How could such a powerful witch like Auria be killed? Overcome with grief, she ran. She didn't stop to take supplies or rummage through Auria's things; she just ran. She didn't believe it. She couldn't believe it. With tears streaming down her face she ran away and never looked back.
She lived many years in solitude after Auria's death. She would travel from forest to forest, never staying very long in any one location. She left the only home she ever knew and didn't want another one, she was content with merely surviving. She spent even more time surrounded by animals now. This lack of human influence greatly impacted Rossarinya's behavior. She stopped talking all together, although never forgetting how, she just found language pointless when she communicated with animals telepathically. She began expressing her emotions through body language, much in the way animals do. She became keen on picking up the subtle cues that revealed what an animal was feeling without reading their minds.
As the years passed, Rossarinya witnessed the destruction of the forests to make way for human villages. She didn't know much about humans and although angry, she couldn't help but be curious about them. With the forests growing increasingly smaller, she was finally forced to leave the woods that she loved and venture into the unfamiliar towns of the humans who were destroying them.
